Learn about the roles and responsibilities of the Governance Working Group and its Initiatives
The Governance Working Group is the ApeCoin DAO’s first Working Group approved via AIP-239 in April 2023. The Governance Working Group’s mandate is to provide neutral and objective governance oversight and support for the operations of the ApeCoin DAO. It was designed specifically to reduce the scope of our DAO Administrators from facilitating the entirety of our governance process.
